SUPPORT FOR POWDER CONTAINERS.

Application filed. September 22, 1923.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ELIZABETH E. BRI- nnnnr, a citizen of the United States, residing at North Haven, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Supports for Powder Containers; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the characters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this application, and represent in- Fig. 1, a side view, partly in section, of a support for a powder container constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2, a front view, partly broken away, of the same. Fig. 3, a top or plan view.

This invention relates to an improvement in a support for a powder container and is particularly adapted for containers for washing powders. The object of the invention is to provide a container and a holder therefor adapted to be attached to a suitable support adjacent to wash-trays, and which permits the container to be vertically positioned when not in use, and which pro vides for allowing it to be tilted to discharge its contents when desired, and the invention consists in the construction as hereinafter described and particularly re-- cited in the claim.

In carrying out my invention, I employ a yoke 5 are adapted to be secured to any support 6, preferably adjacent to sinks or washtrays. The ends of the yoke are formed with fingers 7 and 8 which project outward sidewise. Pivotally connected with the arms of the yoke, near their outer ends, are links 9 and 10, these links being provided with notches 11, to set over the fingers T and 8. The inner face of the links are provided, near their upper ends, with inwardly-extending studs 12, adapted to enter sockets 13 secured to the sides of a container 14 above the horizontal center thereof, the container having a top 15 with a discharge- Serial No. 664,218.

opening 16. When not in use, the links 9 and 10 are turned into a vertical position, as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings, and the container is held in a vertical position with in the yoke and comparatively close to the support to which the yoke is attached. When required for use, the container is moved forward and downward until the links come to a bearing on the ends of the yoke, this bearing being provided for by the fingers 7 and 8. Byemploying the links 9 and 10 and pivotally connecting them to the outer end of the yoke 5, the can is held so far away from the wall that it may be readily inverted, as indicated in broken lines in Fig. 1, so as to discharge the contents either into a wash tray or into the hands of an operator, or into any suitable receptacle, the operation of the device, when in use, being similar to the operation of liquid soap containers, but in this case, the container may be retired, so to speak, when not in use, and hence can be mounted more closely to a wall or other support, than would be possible if the container were not connected with the yoke by links.

I claim:

A support for a powder container, comprising a yoke having two outwardlyextending arms, one of which is formed at its outer end with a finger projecting outward sidewise, a link pivoted to the outer end of each of said arms, one of said links formed with a notch to receive'said finger, whereby said links may project outwardly from the ends of the yoke and be turned upward at right angles thereto, said links provided at their outer ends with inwardlyprojecting studs to fit into sockets on the opposite sides of a container.

In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification in the presence of two sub scribing witnesses.

ELIZABETH E. BRIERLEY.
